Not long before Stephanie Hernandez's death on Sunday in North Little Rock, Arkansas, she Snapchatted a series of photos. One showed a handgun with loose ammunition. Another showed her with a gun's laser sight blinding the camera from behind. A third seemed to show her boyfriend aiming it at her head, with the caption "strap chat?" stretched across the image.

Hours later, police said Hernandez, 21, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head.

Woman dead after Snapchat with gun

Stephanie Hernandez was found dead hours after posting images to social media with her boyfriend pointing a gun at her head.

Roommates told police the man in the photos, 20-year-old Rafael Gonzalez, "accidentally shot Hernandez in the head," according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Washington Post. He has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, according to booking records.

North Little Rock police were called on Sunday night to Ms Hernandez's home, not far from the Arkansas River.

Gonzalez's male roommate told police he had seen Gonzalez crying, claiming he had accidentally shot Hernandez, before he fled the scene, according to court records. The roommate reportedly told a female roommate, "There is blood everywhere, there is blood everywhere. You need to get out of here because I am about to call the police," according to the documents.

When officers arrived, they found Ms Hernandez's body. Police said she was bleeding from the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.
